A man who lost his ball in a golf course pond nearly lost a limb when a nearly 11-foot alligator latched on to his arm and pulled him in the water, authorities said.

Bruce Burger, 50, was trying to retrieve his ball Monday from a pond on the sixth hole at the Lake Venice Golf Club.

Another reason for why golf courses, along with being huge environmental hazards and propagating classist and racist ideals, are a societal negative. Also, the gator had one eye. I had to post it. One-eyed gators!
